I'm not challenging his scoring record, but he would knock in braces and pens against the lower clubs and it made for better reading than reality. But, I'm not convinced he's the answer to anything for us right now, even when at his best.

Words fail me...in your world only games against the tims matter...im not sure if u are unhinged or just at the wind up but my guess is ure unhinged

Those games define your character. As I've said on this thread, I know he scored plenty, but if he's being held up as what we need now, then I disagree. If you want to classify unhinged, read some of the friendly comments I've fielded.

3 points against Hamilton is just as useful as 3 points v the scum. It means more to beat them but Boyds goals won us titles.

Don't mind Boyd at all although his last spell with us wasn't good still doesn't take away from the amount of goals he has scored. One of the only pundits on BT as well who talks well about us. Agree with the point that even if he didn't score many against the scum his goals did win us the league. Can't see how anyone in their right mind can disagree with that?

I'm clearly not stating my point well enough. I agree that Boyd has a great record for goals and made a significant contribution to both cups and leagues. But as I see it, you can get plenty of strikers in Scotland, stick them into our team and they will thrive on the fact we're attacking and creating more chances. A 20 goal a season striker for say Hearts, could be a 30 goal a season striker for us. The sort of striker we need is more like McCoist in as much as he scored for fun against the scum. Wee Alfredo might be that bear, we need to wait and see, but I recall the audible groans that there used to be on another board when the match against them was coming up and we knew the goals would need to come from elsewhere as Boyd wasn't going to get them.

Its a view, calm down and Leeds Bear, try reading slowly and carefully in future.
